KEY MESSAGES

- A warming trend will last into the middle of next week, followed by a return to cooler/near normal temperatures by week's end.

SHORT TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/

Issued at 1110 PM CST Fri Nov 6 2026

Clear skies lasted through late evening, with widespread temperatures dropping into the 30 to 35 range. This will certainly be a long exposure to below freezing temperatures in most locations, and looking out the windows, I've had frost on my car's roof since 830 PM! This will end any remaining growing season/garden plants. Morning lows in the upper 20s seem on target.

Today, high clouds will pass through at times, with most hours seeing transparent clouds resulting in a "partly cloudy" day. Highs will be held to the lower 50s in all areas, as winds shift to the west southwest by Noon. These WSW winds will continue overnight, with lows in the mid to upper 40s area wide tonight.

LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/

Issued at 1110 PM CST Fri Nov 6 2026

Sunday will see a bigger jump up in temperatures with highs reaching the upper 50s north to lower 60s central and south as a weak cool front passes through, more or less increasing the west winds during the day. The flow will quickly shift back to the southwest for Monday morning, and with that temperatures will rise into the low to mid 60s for highs! Spectacular milder than normal weather will continue through Wednesday, when another cool front will sweep down in northwest flow. The pattern remains dry throughout the transitions in temperatures this week, as moisture is completely cut off from our region. The NBM remains dry through the entire forecast of the next 7 days.

AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SUNDAY/

Issued at 422 AM CST Sat Nov 7 2026

High pressure will lead to good low-level visibility, light winds under 15 kts, and prevailing VFR through the period.
